"Come, come, come, have a taste of this fragrant rice cake."
"Selling tea, selling tea, top grade tea bricks!"
"Ah Su family's horse milk wine, ten years old, anyone who drinks it will know."
…
Messy stalls were set up everywhere, and the air was filled with fragrances. The sounds of shouting and bargaining rose and fell one after another.
Fang Yuan walked among them, the surrounding people were rubbing shoulders with each other, the festive atmosphere was intense.
Not only did they sell food, they also sold robes.
There were ordinary sheepskin robes, dog skin robes, and slightly higher quality cowhide robes. There were also beautiful fox snow robes, and the wolf skin robes that soldiers often wore.
Children lingered around the food stalls, while men squatted in front of the stalls selling ironware to bargain. Women chose agate, gems, pearls, and jewelry made of gold and silver.
Continuing to walk inside, Fang Yuan saw a hastily built plaza.
In the plaza, there were huge wooden cages filled with people.
Outside the cages, there were specialized Gu Masters guarding. A fat man with a fat waist was shouting with all his might: "Selling slaves, five male slaves for half a Yuan stone!"
Fang Yuan took a glance and knew this was the popular slave trade in northern plains.
These people were the other tribes that were annexed after the war. After being captured alive, they lost their freedom and became goods.
Inside the cages, there were children who were as skinny as sticks, and men who were chained and kneeling with their heads lowered. Of course, there were women.
The fat man shouted for a long time, his forehead was covered in sweat. Seeing that everyone was just watching, he rolled his eyes and opened the wooden cage, pulling out a woman with a face full of dirt.
"Quickly look, this is a good woman."
With a ripping sound, he tore the woman's tattered robe, revealing her breasts.
"Look, what a plump chest!"
Next, he turned the woman around and slapped her butt in front of everyone.
"And look at this, what a fat butt, it can give birth. If I buy it, I can give birth to babies and even do manual labor! "
During the whole process, the woman's expression was numb, like a puppet, being manipulated by others.
The fat man shouted with all his might, finally causing a commotion among the crowd.
Someone shouted, "How much is this woman?"
"Three taels of primeval stones, only three taels of primeval stones." The fatty immediately raised three thick and short fingers.
Three taels of Yuan stone was not even half a Yuan stone.
However, the person who had just asked the price shouted, "What? Three taels? Are you trying to rob me? If I had this money, I might as well save another two taels and buy a horse with a big stomach! "
Fatty's oily face immediately trembled and he spat at his feet. "Bullsh * t! Buy a woman to ride on the bed. Buy a horse with a big stomach. Although you can ride it, can it give birth to a baby? Pauper, if you don't want to buy, then scram! "
The fat man was a Rank one Gu Master, while the person who was scolded was a mortal. He immediately shrunk his head and slipped away.
Fang Yuan took a few glances at it with interest before withdrawing his gaze.
The slaves that the fatty was selling were only mortals, so of course they wouldn't fetch a good price. But if it was an Inhuman, it would be much easier to sell. If it was a Gu Master, it would be a high level slave with the highest price.
Looking at these slaves, Fang Yuan could not help but think of Ma Hong Yun.
This person was born as a slave and had heaven defying luck.
First, he participated in the battle as a slave. In the end, his tribe was routed, and he saved the young tribe leader by a freak combination of factors while escaping. Thus, he made a great contribution and was given the surname Ma, no longer a slave.
He became an ordinary mortal in the Ma Clan. To make a living, he went out to hunt, but because his skills were not good, he had no gains. On the way back, he tripped over a rock. He smashed the rock fiercely, and found a white silver relic Gu under the rock. He offered the Gu worm to his tribe's young tribe leader.
The young tribe leader needed this white silver relic Gu, and was overjoyed. Not only did he heavily reward Ma Hong Yun, he even gave him a chance to cultivate.
Ma Hong Yun opened his aperture and had B grade aptitude, but he did not have any powerful Gu worms. He was often bullied by the surrounding Gu Masters, and once was kicked into the river.
In the end, Ma Hong Yun, who did not know how to swim, was filled with water, and floated downstream along the rapid river.
Downstream, Sheng tribe leader's third daughter, Sheng Ling Er, was bathing, and was seen by Ma Hong Yun. According to Sheng tribe's tradition, the beautiful Sheng tribe female genius Gu Master had no choice but to accept her fate and become his wife.
Ma Hong Yun obtained great help from Sheng Ling Er, and never lacked Gu worms and Yuan stone.
Sheng Ling Er even stole the tribe's treasure Gu for him, and raised his aptitude to A grade.
After this matter was exposed, Sheng tribe leader did not want his daughter to marry such a poor lad, and secretly sent an expert to kill Ma Hong Yun.
In the end, this expert had a dispute with someone on the way, and was killed by another expert.
Ma Hong Yun and Sheng Ling Er became husband and wife, and was placed in an important position. Sheng tribe members were jealous of him, and plotted against him.
He had no choice but to escape to poison grassland, and when he was about to be killed by the poison beard wolves, he found Chang Shan Yin. After he saved Chang Shan Yin, Chang Shan Yin became his loyal subject.
Just like this, relying on his shocking luck, Ma Hong Yun climbed up step by step, and even became the lord of the Imperial Court.
After Hei Loulan's death, he became the overlord of the Imperial Court for over a hundred years.
Afterwards, he obtained Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal's inheritances, and became a Gu Immortal. He was even given a blessed land by a Gu Master.
When the flames of war burned the world, Ma Hong Yun became one of the pillars of Northern Plains, resisting the Central Continent army, and was in the limelight.
"At this time, Ma Hong Yun should be thirteen years old already. It is a pity that I do not know his true identity. Ma Hong Yun is only a name given to him by Ma tribe after he saved Ma tribe's young tribe leader. Ma tribe is one of the Huang Jin bloodlines left behind by Giant Sun, and in order to fight for the Imperial Court, they have been expanding and annexing many tribes. I wonder if Ma Hong Yun has become a slave of Ma tribe now. "
Fang Yuan collected his scattered thoughts, and found himself at the entrance of a gambling den.
There were couplets on the door.
On the left side: Show a little courage, get four seasons.
On the right side: Display your skills, get wealth in all directions.
On the horizontal side: Luck changes.
The gambling den's business was very good, and even Fang Yuan was moved.
"With my many years of experience, I might be able to make a small fortune." This thought made Fang Yuan laugh. He then thought of Ma Hong Yun.
This extremely lucky lad was cheated by someone, who gave him the lowest quality rock to gamble.
But in the end, he actually got a rank five Gu through pure luck!
Fang Yuan still had matters to attend to, and was not in a hurry to enter the gambling den.
He walked past the entrance of the gambling den, and entered the central area of the market.
This place was much quieter, and the human traffic was much less, almost all he could see were Gu Masters. Even if there were mortals, they were the Gu Master's followers, following beside the Gu Master with their heads lowered and holding things in their hands. There were also some young masters and young ladies who had yet to awaken their apertures.
Although there were no guards, but between mortals and Gu Masters, there was naturally a clear division between them.
The formless threshold formed by the difference in strength, separating the two different lives.
Fang Yuan walked leisurely, and everywhere he went, Gu Masters looked at him with reverent gazes. Those who walked in front of Fang Yuan all stopped and gave way.
Behind him, some whispers could be heard: "Why is there a rank four expert?"
"This person looks unfamiliar, he doesn't seem to be from any of the large tribes."
"Be careful, every time the market opens, there will be many demonic Gu Masters coming in to sell their loot."
Rank four and rank three were on different levels.
Rank three was the cornerstone, and the elders of the large tribes were all at this level. Rank four was the expert among Gu Masters, and most of the tribe leaders were rank four, thus they could move unhindered in the mortal world.
The aura of rank four initial stage made his every movement attract everyone's gazes.
Some were reverence, some were curiosity, and some were wariness.
This place specialized in Gu Master businesses.
There was a Gu refinement workshop that specialized in refining Gu for Gu Masters, and also sold and purchased recipes.
Fang Yuan lacked wolf enslavement Gu's recipe, and after a few trips, he successfully bought a recipe from rank one to rank three.
Rank four recipes were always guarded by the large tribes, and were rarely seen in the market.
Next, Fang Yuan went to a restaurant. But he did not find any top quality wine.
He came to the largest shop.
"Esteemed expert, your presence is our shop's honor, please come in." The shopkeeper was a rank three old Gu Master, and he personally came out to welcome him.
"I need large amounts of wolf enslavement Gu." Fang Yuan went straight to the point.
"Alright, please go upstairs and discuss." The old man led Fang Yuan to a private room on the third floor.
To Fang Yuan's surprise, this shop actually had a rank four wolf enslavement Gu, priced at seventy thousand Yuan stone. Fang Yuan immediately bought it.
After some haggling, Fang Yuan bought five rank three wolf enslavement Gu, and thirty-eight rank two wolf enslavement Gu.
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands in joy, knowing he had met a big customer: "Esteemed customer, what else do you need, please let me know."
"What defensive Gu do you have here?" Fang Yuan asked.
The old man reported a list of Gu worm names, and Fang Yuan shook his head slightly. There was a rank four Gu, but it did not fit his enslavement path. The rest were all ordinary Gu worms.
Next, Fang Yuan asked about flying Gu.
Flying Gu were rare, because flying techniques were hard to achieve. Under normal circumstances, only outstanding disciples of large tribes would be nurtured from a young age. But this way, they would have the resources of the tribe, and would never lack flying Gu.
As for other Gu Masters, they would rarely try flying.
The shopkeeper said proudly: "Customer, you came to the right place. In the entire market, only my shop has a rank four flying cloud Gu! "
But Fang Yuan shook his head.
Although flying cloud Gu was strong in flying, its turning ability was poor, and its speed was average, it was suitable for Gu Masters who were not good at flying.
To him, it was better to use the rank three eagle wings Gu, allowing him to turn freely in the air.
After buying an eagle wings Gu, Fang Yuan asked about the bone bamboo Gu and ghost fire Gu.
He needed these two Gu to repair the rank five Gu battle bone wheel.
In the end, there were many rank two ghost fire Gu in the shop. On the contrary, there was not a single rank one bone bamboo Gu.
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "Customer, I am sorry. All the bone bamboo Gu in the entire market have been bought by the external elder that Man tribe recently recruited. Not only this shop does not have any, other shops also do not have any. "
